Let me see if I'm understanding how this "separation between church and state" works. To keep matters simple, we'll first suspend belief for a moment and pretend that the magic words actually appear in our constitution.
-Public displays of manger scenes, funded with tax payer dollars are unconstitutional.
-Public displays such as a crucifix in urine or a crucifix run over by ants, provided by the National Endowment For the Arts, funded with tax payer dollars, are constitutional.
-A High School teacher or college professor at state funded schools must not teach Creation, Intelligent Design, or the Bible, because that would be unconstitutional.
-Those very same teachers, offering evolution theories, or Bible As Literature courses proving the book's "historical inaccuracies," or anti-Christian melodies singing about how "churches are responsible for most of the evil in history," are within their legal rights to freedom of speech, even though these teachings also stay afloat with our tax dollars.
-Speaking positively about the Koran in our public schools does not violate the First Amendment.
-Speaking negatively about the Koran in our public schools is "hate speech."
-Speaking negatively about the Bible is not "hate speech."
-The Koran's disparaging statements about Christians and Jews are not "hate speech."
-University shrines to Aztec sun gods are not unconstitutional.
-University manger scenes are...Oh, never mind. You get the idea.
Let's be honest: "Separation between church and state" is merely a convenient cliche' for an anti-Christian agenda, not even an anti-religious agenda, just anti-Christian. I urge my fellow Christians to stop falling for this unjust, hypocritical nonsense. Jesus once lamented that the people of this world are often shrewder than the people of light (Luke 16). Jesus was right about this one. But then, Jesus was right about all of them. I may as well point that out while it's still legal.
